4 4 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 4 Community Service QUESTIONS THAT HAUNT! How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Hope everyone is enjoying the summer! Hard to imagine that the upcoming school year will be starting in one month! Again this year, as a community service, ITTHC will be donating school supplies to Broken Arrow Neighbors for distribution to children in need in our local communities. Here are some items that we are most is need of: BACK-TO-SCHOOL NEEDS One Inch 3-Ring Binders Sharp & Blunt Tip Scissors Kleenex Washable Markers (fine & bold tipped) Plastic School Boxes (9 x6 ) Wide Ruled Paper Spiral Notebooks Pens & Erasers Plain & Colored Pencils Color Folders (3 prong with pockets) Tab-dividers Highlighters What disease did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours? Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway... Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural? Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Why did you just try singing the two songs above? Let s Help Fill Up Those Backpacks! Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Why, Why, Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead? When your phone battery is going dead, why does the phone beep and/or a light blink to let you know, and kill the battery even faster?

Below is what the Amazon Associate link looks like and where it is located on the ITTHC Homepage: TICK INFO by Cody Reese I sent this for the newsletter last year, but have heard of another way to remove ticks just recently. So I thought I would send this again, as they seem to be everywhere this year. I personally stick with the standard tweezers making sure to get the head before pulling the blood sucker out. This is the most recommended way to remove a tick and keep it from infecting you. But I had to look up some home remedies that where listed and here is a list that I found people actually use to remove ticks 1. Light a match, blow it out and stick the hot end on the butt of the tick. It will back out. 2. Put dishwashing soap on a cotton ball and cover the tick. In about a minute, check the cotton ball and the tick should have backed out and be stuck to the ball. 3. Put insect spray on a Q-tip and cover the tick. In a minute or two the tick will back out. 4. There is a product called Tic-Off that you spray on the tick and it supposed to fall right off. This product claims it paralyzes the tick keep it from infecting you. 5. Dandruff shampoo such as pert plus, head and shoulders on a cotton ball will cause the tick to back out. 6. Absolutely smoother the tick in butter and it suffocate the tick, causing it to just fall off. 7. Cover the tick in finger nail polish and it eventually comes out on its own. 8. Cover the whole tick in Vaseline and it will die and fall off very quickly 9. Use a small wood dowel and gorilla glue. Put a dab of glue on the dowel and then place it against the tick. Wait a few minutes and then pull the smothered tick out with the glue. 10. New Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20), the tick will come out on it s own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. Please keep in mind any remedies such as Vaseline, hot matches, nail polish remover, etc- could actually make things worse. Anything that might cause 'shock' to the tick could result in the tick purging the contents of its body into your bloodstream, infecting you with any number of diseases. If you start to see any sign of a bulls eye around the area of the tick bite GO SEE A DOCTOR!

6 6 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 6 Page 6 June Water Outing - Sheppard Point Recreation Area at Heyburn Lake Report of Sheppard Point Outing on June 27 th The club outing to Sheppard Point Recreation Area at Heyburn Lake on Saturday, June 27 th was a good one. The high temperature was around the 86 mark, a nice cool breeze, and a moderately warm lake water temperature. The week before the outing Heyburn Lake had been 7 above normal and there was a large amount of submerged driftwood in the swimming area. The club supplied hamburgers, hot links, hot dogs, buns, condiments, & chips. Roger Eaton again handled the cooking, I think it is now a Tradition. Good job Roger and Thank You! Thanks to John Freeman Jr. for picking up the food, supplies, extra scoops, a crippled up old guy, and transporting them to the outing. And Thanks again to John Hamilton for picking up from the ITTHC storage building, taking & storing the grill & tables and he will be bringing them to this Summer s water outings. There were 34 members standing in line to chow down on burgers, dogs, and the outstanding food assortment brought by club members. Thanks to all those bringing the great side dishes and desserts. If you went away hungry at this outing, again it was your own fault. After the big feed there were scattered as evenly as possible 184 tokens in a 40 yards X 60 yards designated area. There were 14 member donated prizes, and 160 tokens for Silver dimes, 16 tokens for Silver quarters, and 8 tokens for Silver half dollars. When the start signal was given there were 21 water hunters frothing the water. After 1 hour+ of hunting, all but 8 dime tokens and 2 Silver half dollar tokens were not recovered. Those tokens not recovered were probably on the North end of the area. There was a larger amount of submerged driftwood on that end. Member donated prizes: Mermaid wooden jigsaw puzzle by Jinjer Bighan. Watertite box & Mexican coin by Lloyd Coke won by John Hamilton. Walking Liberty half dollar by Jean & Wally Dick won by John Hamilton. $5.00 donated by Roger Eaton won by James Marcum. Telephone pole insulator by Ken Fanning won by John Hayworth. $5.00 donated by Jody & John Hamilton won by Charles Bohuslavicky. $5.00 donated by Jody & John Hamilton won by Bill Rouse. Coin/Medal shadow box display by Kim Hauger won by Rachel Birthday Girl Hayworth. Garrett cap by Chuck Marcum won by Roger Eaton. Book by Chuck Marcum won by John Hamilton. 5-Golden Dollars donated by Mike Mitchell won by James Marcum.. 5-Golden Dollars donated by Mike

7 7 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 7 Mitchell won by Wally Dick. Bass Pro cap & tape measure by Howie Rosser won by Wally Dick. Brush set by Bill Rouse won by Mathew Fortney. Some of the higher totals found were: Bill Rouse 20 Silver dimes, 1 Silver quarter, 1 Silver half dollar, & 1 prize token. James Marcum 16 Siver dimes, 2 Silver quarters, 1 Silver half dollar, & 2 prize tokens. Mathew Fortney 17 Silver dimes, 1 Silver quarter, & 1 prize token. Wally Dick 13 Silver dimes, 1 Silver quarter, & 2 prize tokens. Lloyd Coke 12 Silver dimes, 1 Silver quarter, & 1 Silver half dollar. John Hamilton 6 Silver dimes, 1 Silver quarter, 1 Silver half dollar, & 3 prize tokens. John Hayworth 10 Silver dimes & 1 prize token. Ken Fanning 9 Silver dimes & 1 Silver quarter. Mike Mitchell 9 Silver dimes & 1 Silver quarter. Again, one of the main reasons for this type of outing, besides the food of course, is to give non-water hunting members a chance to try their hand at it. Also, the fun and fellowship of being with people that enjoy the same hobby. Again, if you missed this outing, you missed a great one. Don t miss the next one!
